Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering - EDA Infrastructure

About this role

NVIDIA is hiring engineers to build and operate the governed infrastructure platform behind our Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and hardware engineering organization, giving teams a self-service path from source code to production that runs in the cloud and at each physical site. We need engineers with strong programming skills and a deep understanding of distributed systems. You should have real experience operating large-scale production infrastructure and the judgment to build a platform capability once, for every team that needs it.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the cloud-native stack, from Kubernetes down to cluster schedulers. When a new capability is needed, you look for an existing open-source solution before writing your own. What you do build gets built once on the platform, for every team to use. You enjoy solving complex operational problems and turning manual handoffs into self-service, and you care about developer experience as much as you care about uptime. You want systems that stay reliable as the fleet and the number of onboarded teams grow. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Own the lifecycle of the Kubernetes clusters the platform runs on, including the control plane, node lifecycle, and fleet-wide upgrades. Own the bare-metal provisioning, storage, and networking underneath them too.
• Build self-service capabilities (compute, secrets, certificates, DNS, access, deployment) so engineering teams can declare what they need and get it automatically.
• Extend Kubernetes with controllers and operators, using open-source projects where they fit and writing your own where they don’t.
• Own the CI/CD pipelines and shared platform services, such as policy, autoscaling and observability, that give teams a secure path to production by default.
• Onboard new teams and sites onto the platform as a repeatable motion. Define what a site or team needs to bring online, then bui...
